Import Tips
• Verify chain grade marking and proof test certification to comply with ASTM standards for safety classification
• Provide mill test reports confirming low-carbon steel composition and weld integrity to avoid misclassification
• Check for working load limit (WLL) labeling; unlabeled chains may face customs scrutiny or higher duties
